If you look at Marxist history you’ll see some pretty bad stuff; and if you speak with people you’ll find many who think that Marxism has done more harm than good. Clearly a great many Marxism's haven't performed the tune very well, at all. But the tune itself is still exceptionally beautiful.

For those who have been hurt by the Marxism or by an individual Marxist, it's because a great many Marxist haven't played the tune the way that Marx taught and intended. It's not because the tune isn't exceptionally beautiful.

Despite the poor performance of a great many Marxists hopefully people will still strive to see if they can hear that beautiful piece of music again. It’s a tune that Marx took all the way to the grave for ALL of us.

This works just as well for any philosophy or religion.
